Dalvin Cook Fantasy

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is in line for a monster game in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions. The Lions Defense has already given up seven rushing touchdowns and are allowing 5.1 yards per carry and 133.8 rushing yards per game. They've also allowed a running back to score at least 20 PPR points in 4-of-5 weeks. Cook only received 18 touches in Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles and still had a useful fantasy day (54 yards and a touchdown) despite the brutal matchup. Expect his touches to return to the 20-25 range as the Vikings will again look to feature him in their run-heavy attack. Start Cook as a top-tier RB1 option with tremendous upside and consider using him in all daily formats as well.

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook carried 16 times for 41 yards and a touchdown in a Week 6 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Cook also caught both of his targets for 13 receiving yards. The Vikings opted to win this game through the air and it worked, though Cook's fantasy owners would've liked to see him a little more involved in the passing game. Cook remains an elite RB1 play moving forward and should be started with confidence against the Detroit Lions in Week 7.

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is averaging 108.4 rushing yards/game and 5.9 yards per carry through five weeks. He also has five rushing touchdowns and has seen at least five targets in three consecutive games - you're starting him as your RB1 in Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Expectations should be slightly tempered, though, as the Eagles have allowed a league-low 63 rushing yards/game and rank second in yards per carry allowed. They aren't elite against pass-catching backs, however, as they've had three running backs rack up six catches or more and four running backs top 37 receiving yards against them. Expect Cook to register 20 touches or more as the featured player in the offense and lock him in with confidence as your RB1.
